At ADIDAS, I lead AI engineering, machine learning, data engineering, and analytics initiatives. I modernized 520+ production data and ML pipelines and 280+ TB of data, contributing approximately $11M in operational efficiencies.

I’ve built capabilities spanning GenAI, LLMs, and MLOps, and developed AI agents to automate data issue resolution and pipeline failure analysis. Earlier, I developed fraud detection strategies at BANK OF AMERICA and insurance analytics solutions at EXL SERVICE / INDUCTIS, including a claims-handling model that reduced processing costs by approximately 40% / $120K.
